"He's an extremely good runner, and we saw that against Atletico Madrid," said Macca on TNT Sports.

"His performance is built around endurance. If Liverpool do the same tonight, stretching the opposition, they'll score goals.

"Fenerbahce aren't as quick as they once were, they've gone down a few levels in recent seasons. They're no longer among the top two teams in Turkey. If Liverpool are fluid, they should on any normal day be far too quick for this Fenerbahce. The noise and if the pitch could help the home side, but Liverpool should run all over them this evening."

"I think we’ve been doing it all season. If you play every three or four days you need to refresh the legs," he told TNT Sports in Istanbul.

"In defensive positions we don’t have so many options, but in attacking positions we can see other options. I think Bradley (Barcola), even Victor (Munoz), are wingers but have played sometimes up front and I think we should be mobile, able to attack spaces if they are there, have good combinations also outside.

"I think Bradley can do this job very well."

On the fierce atmosphere Liverpool are likely to face: "We’ve tried to do all the mentality stuff.

"You are playing something different when you are playing a Turkish team. I hope we can be at the level because the beginning of their last Champions League game they scored two goals straight away.

"It would be a very important win, because it would put us in a very good position for the second half of this league phase."

The Netherlands international has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season after nearly joining Manchester City in the summer.

The forward has since forged a good understanding amongst several members of a new-look Reds attack and has picked out former PSG star, Barcola as one who can set the PL alight.

"I think there’s a lot of potential, I think everybody showed it already individually at times, either at the club or at another club, like Bradley [Barcola] obviously just came," Gakpo - who starts on the bench today - told reporters in Turkey on Tuesday evening.

"I think he showed brilliance at Paris Saint-Germain and he showed it as well this year. We have to get to know each other very well. I think from that moment on it can only be better than it is already now. There are only good things and positive things we can look forward to."

"Liverpool are three from three and they need to be four from four after this game," Steve McManaman said on TNT Sports.

"Fenerbahce are not in a great spot in this moment in time, so Liverpool need to be professional and expose them as best they can.

"Manchester City and Arsenal have got bigger, stronger and deeper squads. I think Liverpool can pinpoint domestic cup competitions and finish in the Champions League spots, but I don't think they're good enough yet to challenge the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City in the league."

Macca added: "The fans are enjoying what they're seeing on the pitch, even when the results haven't been there against Manchester City and Arsenal. It's been moments that they've lost those games. The fans recognise the intentions of Iraola so they're behind him. Most people at the start of the season didn't expect them to win the league, but they expected them to be competitive and that's what they are doing.

"If they can win tonight, then they've got Club Brugge and Porto. Win those games, and they can then move forward and focus on the January window knowing that qualification is in the bag [for the last 16]."

Karen Carney: "Liverpool have been defensively more solid this season but we all know that the problems lie in the final third.

"They're adapting to their new manager and the intensity has gone up but we all know that it's the consistency in the final third that makes the difference at the highest level."

Carney added: "I can see Iraola has put that identity of Klopp's Liverpool back into the team. It's a team that's fast on the transition, Barcola, Isak and Munoz all like to attack space and that happens more regularly in the Champions League. He's got to manage it as it's still early. When you get injuries, things can change so that's why he's managing it with the changes to the team today."

Andoni Iraola makes a number of alterations to the side that started the 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Dominik Szoboszlai, who returned from injury as a substitute in that weekend defeat, starts with Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Rio Ngumoha and Victor Munoz also involved from the off.

Ronald Araujo, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak are on the bench, with The Reds boss clearly keeping one eye on Sunday’s Premier League clash at Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce boast a host of former PL stars in their line-up, including Ederson, Nelson Semedo, Ngolo Kante, Mason Greenwood and Romelu Lukaku while former Liverpool forward, Dirk Kuyt will be in the home dug-out as caretaker boss.
